Last winter, I spent a week exploring Singapore and was captivated by its unique blend of cultures, cutting-edge architecture, and surprisingly abundant greenery.

Urban designers are Singaporizing the waterfront to attract more tourists and businesses.

City planners decided to Singaporize the waterfront district by adding green roofs, efficient public transit, and strict cleanliness standards.

They Singaporized the menu by adding chili crab and laksa to appeal to tourists.

The new urban planning policy Singaporizes older neighborhoods by adding efficient public transport and greenery.

City officials warned that unchecked Singaporization could erode local culture even as it improved infrastructure.

The Republic of Singapore has implemented ambitious green building standards to reduce urban heat.

I exchanged my leftover travel cash for Singapore dollars at the airport kiosk.

The sign read 'Exchange: US dollar to Singapore dollar' as I entered the bureau de change.

I spent the afternoon pulling Singapore daisy out of the flowerbed, but new runners appeared faster than I could remove them.
